The Brigantine

I liked the atmosphere and the service was great. I had the swordfish, as it seemed like a lot of reviews said it was the best plate. It was fine. The fish was good and the sauce was great, but the whole plate was underwhelming. Maybe I'm just not a fan of broccolini, but I didn't think that it paired well with the fish. On a side note, you can pay for your meal using a QR code that takes you to a website, but be warned, there can be a delay in sending that data to the restaurants computers. This didn't happen to me, but a few people in my party were harassed about not paying even though they had paid. In one case they had to pay twice. The restaurant staff said not to worry and that they'd cancel one of the charges, but come on, who is going to trust that.

I’ve been here several times and mostly for their happy hour menu. The items on that menu have declined in both offerings and taste. With my last visit being a low point. The reason I’m recommending then is for their regular menu, which is fantastic. Loved their Cobb salad and the Salmon. Skip the happy hour menu and you will be much more appreciative of their food.

The Brig is a main stay, classic, and higher end restaurant on the point. I recommend booking a reservation and getting there early. If you arrive around 4:30 pm you will have a better selection of seating and enjoy a quieter dinner. The booths are comfortable. The window seating is also nice. Next time we may try outside too. There's enough room for large groups in the main dining area. After dinner you can take a nice walk around the harbor while enjoying the sights and sounds.

Came to celebrate a birthday. Sat after a short wait ( made a ressie) ordered the crab/ shrimp fondue which was tasty but not lumpy with fresh seafood as I had hoped for. Garden salad was good but drenched in dressing ( ask for it on the side ) my mahi macadamia nut dinner was tasty and filling. The NY steak was well prepared. For drinks the sangria was not good, the mai tai was well done but too much ice!! Noted that a bday was being celebrated but it wasn’t acknowledged. Nice place but I wouldn’t come back.

I like Brigantine, this location is really convenient compared to harbor drive one. It has enough parking available and close. You don't need to struggle to find parking or use a valet to park. The parking lot is meters, and it's paid till 6 pm, so if you come after 6 pm free parking, the only issue is that meters only take quarters. The entrance to the restaurant is on the second floor, if you can't climb it's a bit more inconvenient. The service was great. Waitress was very nice ( Laryssa). I liked the Brigantine Margarita, which was delicious. The best appetizer they have is calamari sticks. It is the best I ever had. I ordered Macadamia Crusted fresh Mahi Mahi, and it was good, it just lacks a little seasoning. Overall experience was great. Would be coming back to try some different menu items. Thank you 😊

This was the best find on my visit to shelter island! Monday is all night happy hour. I don’t drink much but i partook in the happy hour appetizer menu and tried the 3 oysters on half shell and house salad. Both were exceptional. I then tried the scallops. That was one of the best most filling scallop dishes I’ve ever had. The scallops were a good size. The sear and seasoning were perfect. And they were service with this filling delicious hash. I could barely finish the dish! Will be back next time!
